Re. knees v. elbows (as one of those people) I've tried a lot of elbow pads and just can't find anything that's comfortable in a riding position. Even, for example, the Pearl Izumi D30 ones where the similarly structured knees fit me awesomely that arms are either too tight or slide down (sizing) and either way give me arm pump when I'm climbing out of the saddle.
I would think knees would be harder to design because of the range of motion for pedaling? But I guess I'm wrong. I think the answer may lay in much shorter pads that just cover the elbows but maybe they wouldn't stay in place.
